<p>Loneliness is an unpredictable condition that takes no prisoners. In less serious cases, it can lead to binge eating and quiet nights at home camped in front of a television screen.</p>

<div class="q_and_a-question"><em>You’ve introduced your share of discoveries since coming on the skincare scene 40 years ago. What can we expect to see next?</em></div><div class="q_and_a-answer">There’s still so much going on! We’re looking at osmolytes (agents that seem to help with hydration), and the new keratinoids—such as vitamin A with lutein—which have super anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. But remember, before there was medicine, there was food. I think the extracts of koji berry and yum berry, for instance, are key to healing and protecting the skin. Think about why certain fruits and vegetables thrive in certain areas of the world, and you have clues as to what they can do for the skin.</div> </div>
<div class="field-item even">
<div class="q_and_a-question"><em>What is your personal skin regimen?</em></div><div class="q_and_a-answer">I don’t have a specific one; I alter it depending on what’s needed at the time. However, I stick with a basic three-step plan: cleanser, antioxidant treatment (I have some sun damage) and something for genetic or environmental aging. And I always use sunscreen, and a moisturizer at night.
</div> </div>
<div class="field-item odd">
<div class="q_and_a-question"><em>Are men starting to get the message about taking care of their skin?</em></div><div class="q_and_a-answer">I think they’re more receptive these days. But men still aren’t accustomed to getting this type of advice—they’re more focused on medical, not beauty, solutions. Picture a 75-year-old farmer who’s been working outdoors for 60 years. If you tell him, ‘Use this product because it’ll improve your skin’s tone and texture,’ he’s not going to listen. But tell him he has sun damage and using a product will help him live longer, and he’ll do it. You have to speak Russian to the Russians.
</div> </div>
<div class="field-item even">
<div class="q_and_a-question"><em>You seem like such a healthy person—do you have any weaknesses?</em></div><div class="q_and_a-answer">I love pizza. I could eat it every day. But I abide by the 80/20 rule, which allows for moderation. Maybe I’ll eat the pizza, but I won’t get the fatty meat toppings. I think if you do this, you’re less likely to fall completely off the wagon. We all tend to want to be perfect. I say, be imperfect!
</div> </div>
<div class="field-item odd">
<div class="q_and_a-question"><em>What was the last good book you read?</em></div><div class="q_and_a-answer"><em>Happiness is a Serious Problem</em> by Dennis Prager. It basically says that happiness and fun aren’t the same thing. Whoever we are, we tend to ‘spot treat’ (focus on one thing we think needs fixing) rather than see ourselves as whole people. It’s hard to be happy when you do that. The same is true of good health; whatever issue you have, it’s a whole-person issue.</div> </div>
